Here it is!!!:::
Shinichi held Ran in his arms as her beautiful eyes gazed off into the white wonder. Snow sparkled everywhere; it was in the trees, the houses, the streets, and on the twos' hair. The tiny and delicate snowflakes clung to Ran's eyelashes. This is what I have yearned to do for a long time…Shinichi smiled. Ran's eyes averted to Shinichi's face.
You're back…finally…Ran closed her eyes and sighed happily.
"Ran?" Shinichi asked, breaking the peaceful silence.
"Yeah?" Ran replied softly. Her eyes were still closed.
"You do want to go inside…you know, to warm up?" Shinichi murmured. He stroked Ran's silky chocolate brown hair. Ran sat up.
"Yeah, let's," she shivered once out of Shinichi's warm arms. Shinichi frowned with concern and wrapped his arms around her once again. Shinichi forgot all about the rose for Ran as they walked inside his house and Shinichi dropped his keys onto the table and took off his light coat.
Ran knew almost every inch of Shinichi's house, and at once busied herself with making hot chocolate.
She heated some water in a kettle and grabbed two packets of hot chocolate powder. Once the kettle was whistling, she took two mugs and poured the steaming water into them.
Shinichi crept up behind her slowly and then wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Sh-shinichi?" Ran asked nervously. Her breathing deepened and her heart was racing. Shinichi had buried his face into her fragrant hair. He mumbled something incoherent.
Ran's arms dropped to her sides. Then, her hands held Shinichi's hands. "Shinichi! Your hands are ice cold!" Ran gasped. She gently unwrapped his arms and held his shoulders. A blush had crept onto his cheeks and his eyes were half-opened. "Gah, Shinichi! You're not wearing enough! It looks like you've caught a cold!" Ran scolded gently. She supported Shinichi to his couch and set him down.
"Ran…" Shinichi breathed. His cold fingers caressed her cheek. Ran's heart almost stopped. She held his hand to her cheek and almost sat down.
"Ah! I have to get you something warm! I'll be right back," she exclaimed. She gently let go of Shinichi's hand and ran upstairs, her footsteps thumping all the way up.
Shinichi sighed and laid his head onto the couch's armrest. He closed his eyes and remembered Ran's scent. Oh, how fragrant it was…his eyes drooped and closed, letting him slip away in a peaceful slumber.
Ran sprinted down the stairs and stopped at the sight of Shinichi. She smiled and walked quietly to the couch carrying her beloved detective. She tucked the blanket on Shinichi and resumed brewing the hot chocolate.
Shinichi smelled something wonderful. Chocolate and roses…He opened his eyes and saw Ran sitting in a lounge chair, reading a book and sipping the warm liquid. She looked up and smiled sweetly.
"Feeling better?" she asked softly. Shinichi nodded but then looked away. A sharp pang in his chest reminded him of the heartache he had caused for her.
"Shinichi? What's the matter? Are you sure you're feeling better?" Ran asked with concern shining deep within her eyes.
"I…I don't deserve this treatment…" Shinichi murmured.
"Nani? Why?" Ran crawled off the chair and knelt in front of him. "Tell me. Please…" she grabbed his hand and held it with her two own hands.
Shinichi sat up and released his hand from Ran's grasp. Ran watched his movement with concern and a confused expression on her face. Why was he acting this way? Was it something I did?
"Shinichi---you can trust me," Ran pleaded. Shinichi held his head in his hands, and his elbows were propped on his legs.
"I guess I need to tell you now, huh? I need to tell you the whole truth," Shinichi said quietly.
Ran's heart quickened its pace and she held her breath. Was he seeing somebody else? The pressure was unbearable. It scared to see Shinichi this way. "Tell me what?" she asked, her voice shaking. She was dreading if her assumption was true.
"I…I…It started on that one day at Tropical Island…" he started.
"The time when you solved the case at that one ride?" Ran asked.
"Yeah. Remember when I left you to check something out? And you told me not to go?" Shinichi sighed. Ran nodded slowly. "Well, it turns out that the people I was following…the suspicious ones were part of the Black Organization. They made this pill which was supposed to kill a person without leaving any traces for the autopsy. Instead of killing me, it turned my body…it shrunk me to the size and age of a seven or eight year old."
Ran's eyes widened. "Conan! Shinichi!" she gasped. It all fit. They would look exactly alike if Shinichi was seven! How could she have been so blind? After all the times she had wondered if Conan was actually Shinichi, why couldn't she piece it all together?
Shinichi slid his hands into his pocket and drew out Conan's glasses. "These were disguises…" he said, handing them over to Ran. Ran accepted the glasses numbly and stared at them. Then, she slowly placed the glasses onto Shinichi's face. He looked like Conan, except for that Shinichi's face was longer now.
"But how? When you were Conan, you had that tiny voice! How could you have made yourself sound like you were your real self?" Ran asked, obviously confused.
"Dr. Agasa, he gave me many helpful things I could have used. Remember the bow tie? That was a voice-changer. I used that to disguise my voice when I solved your dad's cases. I also used them to call you."
"W-wait…you were the one that made my dad fall asleep? And then you imitated his voice to prove the facts?" Ran asked.
Shinichi nodded slowly. "yeah…" he whispered. He felt so low. Ran would be angry any moment now... "I though you deserved to know…after al this time."
"But why didn't you tell me? Why couldn't you have trusted me?" Ran's eyes began to brim with tears.
"Ran…please don't cry. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to put you in danger. If the Black Organization found out you knew, you…you would be in danger, and I could never forgive myself if anything happened to you. I swear, I wanted to tell you every single day I was with you, every single moment I was living… I wanted to tell you so badly." Shinichi buried his face in his hands.
Both of them were quiet. Shinichi braced himself for the punishment he deserved. It didn't come.
"Shinichi? Please, I understand…" Ran whispered. "I'm just happy that you're safe and that I finally know where you are. Shinichi…look at me," Ran breathed. She tilted Shinichi's chin up with her delicate finger. "You were with me the whole time after all…you've saved my life before…"
Shinichi closed his eyes and opened them again. "I'm sorry," he whispered into Ran's ear. Ran smiled through her tears and they shared a warm embrace.
"What made you tell me now?" Ran asked softly once they released each other.
Shinichi shrugged. "I guess I wanted to tell you in my real old self."
Ran nodded understandingly then suddenly stiffened. "You—you saw me! YOU SAW ME NAKED!!!"
"Y-yes, but I tried to close my eyes! You were so demanding!" Shinichi cried as Ran tackled him with a pillow. They fell off the couch laughing and hitting each other with toss pillows.
---
The two lay on the ground trying to catch their breaths. Both were happier and they felt as if somebody had lifted a great deal of weight from their shoulders.
"Shinichi…will you always be with me?" Ran asked as she laid her head on Shinichi's chest. Her chocolate brown hair landed in swirls around their bodies.
"Yeah," Shinichi replied while staring at the ceiling and stroking her hair.
"Hey. Who else knows besides me?" Ran asked.
"Hmm…well, you, Dr. Agasa, Ai, Kid, and Hakuba," Shinichi ticked off with his fingers.
"Hakuba? That detective that wanted to challenge you?" Ran asked.
"Yeah, remember that one time you caught me drinking that beverage he had brought over?" Shinichi replied while caressing her cheek with his thumb, "I think that the drink was the thing that turned me back to normal for a little while."
"You were sick that day," Ran recalled. She listened to the steady beat of Shinichi's heart. It was soothing. They both closed their eyes and smiled.
"Ran?" Shinichi asked after a while. "Could you get off for a while? I promise that you can lie on me after that."
Ran grinned and got off. "OK, what do you want?" she crossed her arms in mock pout.
"This…" Shinichi gently tilted Ran's face up so that he could kiss her. Ran still wasn't used to this. She blushed then relaxed, and pushed deeper into the kiss.
Neither of them could breathe as Shinichi, still kissing her, slowly crawled on top of her and gently forced her down. They continued expressing their feelings for each other for a few more minutes.
Their oxygen was running out, and their heads were throbbing. They finally broke away, panting.
"Shinichi…" Ran threatened. She worked really hard to suppress her smile. "You kiss me like that again and I will—"
"You will what? Hmmm?" Shinichi grinned mischievously. He grabbed Ran close to him and placed many fluttery kisses onto her warm neck. Ran gave a shuddered sigh of pleasure.
"I will….I will…" she tried saying. Ran gave up and lay back down onto the floor slowly.
"That's better," Shinichi whispered between small kisses.
Everything was perfect.
Yay! Chappie three completed. Should I end this fanficcy soon? I dunno, because I don't want this to turn this story into a battle between the two and the Black Organization. I guess I could always do more fluff…mischievous grin Muahahaha!!! Maybe I should make it a notch more extreme. Eh? R&R to tell me what I should do!!! R&R PWEASE!!!
